,innovation, and risk-taking. While these traits are all potential assets in the field of engineering,individuals with ADHD are extremely underrepresented in engineering programs. Too often,nontraditional thinkers struggle within the confines of the traditional engineering educationcurriculum. Providing these students opportunities to learn in a style that is more consistent withtheir unique strengths may positively affect the recruitment and retention of those with diversecognitive styles. To promote the inclusion of students with ADHD in engineering, and therebyincrease the diversity of the field, a specialized Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)Site has been funded by the NSF Division of Engineering Education and Centers.

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 WIP: Undergraduate Research Experiences Survey (URES) and Engineering IdentityABSTRACT: In this work-in-progress paper, we discuss the development and preliminaryresults of a survey about undergraduate engineers’ participation in research outside of classes.We want to know how many students are involved in research, what they do, and what theythink they are learning. In particular, we are interested in what categories of students engagein research (year in college, major, race, gender, GPA, first-generation status, etc.), and howare they benefiting from it. We selected questions from the
generalmechanical work and procedures, covering commonly used tools and best practices. All modulestogether form a foundation for team specific training that address risk for common activities onthe team.Once all practical hands-on training modules have been completed, students are now able tocomplete hands-on work and become more active participants on the team. As they are new teammembers, they are still limited to the work that they can complete. Some tasks which are deemedof greater risk or severity of injury are reserved for higher levels. These tasks include theoperation of heavy lifting equipment and high voltage design, construction, and operation. Inorder to further reduce the risk of injury, level two students must always be supervised and workin

The case study approach we adopted to answerthe research question that had three main aspects: 1. analysis of completion dates for different phases of the design process by previous senior design teams, 2. distilling key axiomatic design ideas in a toolkit that could benefit capstone design projects, and 3. piloting the toolkit with several senior design teams to see how this impacted behavior during conceptual design and system integration.Through the pilot projects we

Additionally, ROS is widely used for computer science programs andexposes students to best practice with a number of computer programming paradigms. In thisstudy, we take advantage of these features while using the basic ROS framework to exposestudents to hardware and software integration techniques that are usually reserved for graduateprograms. Furthermore, we use ROS with PBL to expose students to practical problems found inrobotics while expanding their knowledge in control methods, vision algorithms, and electronicintegration of components needed for our project. Our overall goal of this study was to expose students to
